“Great fun for families with all ages and for adults as well. Was a great workout for all of us!”

"Sharnfold Farm has improved massively in the last couple of years, it has a play area, café, farm trail and tractor ride. Lots of animals you can feed, mini golf, sand pit and along the walk there are activities to do so keep’s the kids busy!”

“A real favourite with our family and friends, such a lovely place to visit anytime! They do activities throughout the year so lots for the kids to do with two main restaurants and a few mobile coffee pods as you walk around – comes in handy!”

"Almost everything you can imagine to do! Gets very hot so I advise to wear light clothing and bring water. Venue gets very busy and although there is parking, I’ve had to park on the road.”

“Much bigger than I’d realised, with so much to do across a big area. Parking easy, friendly staff, indoor play as well as outside so we had plenty to do with our children aged 6 and 8.”
